Re: Jeopardy!

When I was on, spelling was only an issue if the misspelling changed the meaning. Believe me — I remember crap like that!
But that was 11 years ago, so rules may have changed?

When I was on, we signed a release that said that the producers had the final say. And that was 25 years ago!

And jadewarlock . . . during the commercial before Final Jeopardy, the stage director came up and had each of us write a big "W" on our slates - just to make sure that we'd remember to put the answer in the form of a question (Who, What, When, Where, Why). And I've sometimes thought that a contestant would hope they could bluff their way into saying that an illegible answer was actually the correct answer . . . just sloppy. Yeah, right.

Kind of -- but it's too easy and too gimmicky. (And I'm kicking myself for having been outside the buzz for being a contestant, because I could totally win this sucker.)
It's better than that stupid Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. At least this one moves quickly-ish.

I'll watch for the testing/audition notices.
The thing that surprised me a little when I was on Jeopardy! was how big a factor the "lights, camera, action" and studio audience played in my ability to think and recall clearly. If I were on another quiz show, I think I'd do better.
